This time, Ji Xia's performance as the hero who laid the foundation for the Demon Hunting Bureau, plus Lan Jingyu, took a lot of time.

Before I knew it, a day had passed.

At the same time, outside the city of Tongye, on the fertile plain, there were thousands of riders riding spirit horses, all of them were red, with tiger and leopard stripes, their noses breathing out magma, their heads covered with iron masks, looking at the ferocious and terrifying cavalry
They were cracking the earth and gathering together in one place, like a long stream of red steel, roaring towards us!

A large flag with the word "Lu" written on it fluttered in the wind.

Under the blue sky, among the thousands of riders, it shines brightly.

It forms a sharp contrast with the magnificent city not far away.

The leader held a phoenix-wing gilded hammer in his hand, with a haughty look in his eyes. His body was as big as a mountain, like a living Vajra, standing tall among the world, commanding the whole army's might to be directed at him alone.

When he raised the Phoenix-wing drill in his hand, it was like a golden-winged roc flying across the sky, suppressing the three mountains and five peaks, as if it could suffocate the people around him!
The army was approaching, and when it was close, it suddenly stopped.

The lieutenant beside the general asked tremblingly:

"General, Tongye Prefecture governs seven cities, and three of them have already fallen. The commander guarding the pass of Tongye Prefecture, Lan Jingyu, who claimed that if he could become a 'real person', his military skills would be comparable to yours, has also fled."

"Nine out of ten of Tongyezhou's last elite troops are dead. Why don't we seize the opportunity to pursue them and attack Huanglong?"

Lu Xiantian has a pair of phoenix eyes, and the blood of the legendary fairy 'Golden-winged Dapeng' flows in his body. He has an upright figure, and is both heroic and suave.

In the Six Pillars of Divine Blood.

He is the youngest and the most ambitious.

Among all the dignitaries in the court, no one can match him in terms of excellence.

Even King Yin Hong of Yin, the second-generation monarch who was appointed to power in a time of crisis, was invisibly inferior to these heroes who helped conquer the world.

Hear the subordinates' questions.

Lu Xiantian waved his hand:

"A few days ago, I sent the commanders of the left and right armies, Wang He, Qin Lu, and that kid Li Xuanzong, into the city to persuade them to surrender."

"But until now, there is not even a letter. It seems that my brother-in-law and my good nephew are not going to join my team."

"But I still choose to give them a chance."

"Even if they were independent and rebelled before, and Yin Hong was furious, the world and Great Yin today are no longer the same as before."

"The old King Yin is still here, and he can still break through to become a real person. Maybe it's still uncertain."

“But before that.”

"His words don't work."

Lu Xiantian spoke in a gentle tone, took out a communication jade talisman, and crushed it in an instant.

After hearing the noise, many plain-looking people in plain clothes in the streets and alleys of Tongye City were startled at the same time. They jumped over the eaves and walls, and turned into afterimages, rushing out of the city.

These people were sentinels and scouts planted by Marquis Huwei to gather information.

"General!"

More than a dozen martial arts masters with strong bodies and well-developed muscles came forward to report. Huwei Hou Lu Xiantian looked at the city from afar and asked casually:

"Li Shenyao and Li Xuanzong, have you captured Li Qiankun and my two celestial generals?"

"Don't they think that just because the 'Chess Master' Xu Ruotong came to Tongye and treated him with courtesy every day, they can invite him to come out of seclusion?"

"Don't say that I'm not necessarily afraid of him coming out of the mountains."

"Just one word."

"Xu Ruotong, the old man, has spent his entire life tinkering with and studying his chessboard, hoping to comprehend the changes in 'the chessboard controls the world'. He is so engrossed in it that he doesn't even care about the Great Yin, let alone worldly affairs."

"I have met him before. He can't hinder me. If the people in Tongye Mansion place their illusory hopes on him, then I..."

"I will crush it completely so that I, your good brother-in-law and nephew, can see it clearly!"

Gazing at Tongye Mansion, Lu Xiantian reined in his horse and looked ahead, his eyes seemingly filled with dragons and crouching tigers.

After the establishment of the Great Yin Dynasty, the King of Yin shared the world with many of his comrades, and also occupied Aquarius and the northwest to give to the demons. He swore an oath by the Wei River, and today, the root of the disaster has finally been planted.

Jinghe Dragon King, Huweihou
There are also those local giants who have become powerful and influential. The ambitions in their hearts are no longer something that Yin Hong, the second-generation King of Yin, can suppress.

If Marquis Huwei really took over the entire Tongye Province.

I'm afraid that in a moment,

After Li Shenyao, he would become the second person to establish his own regime on this land!
"This"

But after Lu Xiantian finished speaking, the scouts looked embarrassed.

What happened in the past two days was extremely turbulent, and no one could have predicted the final result.

Lü Xiantian defeated Lan Jingyu and his 8,000 elite cavalry stationed at the pass with one blow, leaving only the Tongyefu city.
As a proud Marquis Huwei, he did not go to get the news at all. Instead, he took advantage of the victory and rushed all the way here without even summoning scouts to gather information.

As a result, until now, they still have no idea that a new king has ascended the throne in Tongye Mansion.

After these scouts hesitated for a long time, they told Li Taxian everything about how he had killed Dong Hongshuang and succeeded in seizing the throne, including his identity as the Great Demon Lord.
Originally thinking that it was just some trivial matter between the Li family father and son, Huwei Hou Lu Xiantian's eyes slowly condensed:
"Oh?"

"He who established the Demon Hunting Division and fought back and forth on the Wei River several times, causing the old Dragon King to be humiliated and enraged."

"It's actually him?"

"Something interesting."

His eyes slowly became focused.

Then, he lowered his iron mask and waved the phoenix-winged gilded sword toward the sky, waving it together with the great flag of heaven, and then——

"Tiger Cavalry, listen to my orders!"

"Destroy the city!"

The Great Hunt for the Demon Lord, Li Taxian
It's a talent.

Lu Xiantian felt a little regretful.

But even though we have never met.

He could also understand Li Taxian's psychology.

Assassinate King Yin, become Zuo Shanhe's apprentice, force Dong Hongshuang to death, cut off Li Qiankun's head, and ask Li Shenyao to give up his throne.
If all these things were done by one person, then this person must be a rare hero.

For example, Lü Xiantian had a life of ups and downs. He was first a member of the Daxuan Frontier Army, then cut off his superior's head and surrendered to Da Yin. Now that the time is right, he is ready to secede and establish his own regime.
Although there were times in his life when he lived under the rule of others, Lu Xiantian clearly understood the rebelliousness in his bones.

It is difficult for him to be inferior to others.

Therefore, although he had never met this kind of hero before, he knew that if he accepted him, it would be like inviting a tiger to sleep soundly on your bed!
If I make a mistake in handling the situation and let him overtake me from behind, wouldn't I be living in the shadow of being backstabbed every day?
There is a principle that a thief can steal for a thousand days, but there is no principle that one can guard against thieves for a thousand days.

Moreover, Li Taxian nominally had a deep blood feud with his "adoptive father" Grand Tutor Dong. That Grand Tutor was a half-demon with dragon blood, and was also connected to a "cave heaven". He could not rebel against him at this time.

So, if we don’t kill Li Taxian.

It's difficult to get the job done.

Follow thousands of cavalry to plunder the land.

The entire city was alarmed.

Here, Ji Xia was still in seclusion, meditating and practicing the Tao in the human world, deducing the method of the ultimate state in the human world, and ordered that no one was allowed to disturb him.

there,

According to Li Shenyao's last request before his death, he was sent to the "Shijue Mansion" to guard Li Xuanzong, who was in charge of Shijue Pass.

He was already wearing armor and looking back at the city with a complicated look in his eyes, but he did not linger for too long and had no intention of disobeying Li Taxian.

He is the most reasonable one among the Tongye family.

So I survived to the end.

Out of blood ties, he couldn't help but feel angry towards Li Taxian.

But as someone who has seen Li Taxian's rise along the way,
He could understand his difficulties better.

However, perhaps he was unwilling in his heart. Li Xuanzong himself knew that he could not stay in the Tongye Mansion any longer. Otherwise, if they lived together and met each other every day, one day, his inner ambition would outweigh his reason.

I think Li Shenyao also saw this and asked him to stay away from Tong Ye.

Li Xuanzong was filled with emotion and shook his head, wanting to shake off his annoyance. It would be a good thing to stay in one place and hand over the military and political affairs to another person. However,
Just before he was about to leave the city.
There was a tremor in the iron cavalry, and the earth was shaking!
He saw the army of Marquis Huwei at a glance, and he couldn't help but show awe, horror and shock:
"Lv character flag."

"How come Tiger Marquis 'Lü Xiantian' attacked so quickly?"

A real person, ten thousand dragon and tiger blood riders, this city looks majestic, and it is reinforced by military formations and Taoist techniques, but in fact...
It's no different from paper.

Looking at this city that has nothing to do with me anymore.

He glanced at his confidant behind him again.

Li Xuanzong hesitated again and again, between surrendering to Huwei Hou and protecting his former territory.
He chose the latter.

Even if you know you can't win.

Mr. Tongye Li Shenyao has devoted his entire life to the cause of "self-reliance". How could he give up such a fertile land of thousands of miles to others?
In the end, we will not stop until all the blood of the Li family has been shed!
Even if the enemy is my grandfather or my maternal uncle, it is no exception! After all, they are outsiders.

Outside the secret room of Tongye Mansion.

An old man, floating in the air without any external force, wearing a black and white chess robe, looked at the movements in the quiet room with throbbing eyes, a little shocked, and even his fingers trembled slightly.

Beside him, Xu Heng, who was the Grand Guardian of the Great Yin Dynasty, gave an admonition:
"Godfather, why are you still stopping here?"

"Even if that kid is amazing at chess, he is now Lord Tongye and the Great Demon Lord, and an enemy of Dayin!"

"Marquis Hu Wei's troops are already at the gates of the city. They are coming to kill us and are determined to capture him."

"Wouldn't it be a bad idea for us to delay here any longer?"

Xu Heng originally thought.

My adoptive father is able to distinguish the importance of things and the urgency of things. Even if he doesn't consider himself, he will consider his adopted sons and vassals.

but!
The more Xu Ruotong looked into the room, the hotter and brighter his eyes became, and his desire was almost beyond words.

Just like at Nirvana Mountain that day, the Taoist practitioners' desire for the 'Primordial Spirit Nirvana Technique' was exactly the same!
"you,"

"Can't you see or hear what's going on inside?"

Xu Ruotong stretched out his finger and pointed to the inner room, where Ji Xia was performing Taoism for Li Chengzhen, Meng Ke and others.

But Xu Heng, the adopted son on the side, looked confused and glanced again:

"There's nothing in there?"

He couldn't see or even detect any ripples because he was in the third step.

But Xu Ruotong, who had touched the gate of heaven, the inner world, and had gradually moved from the 'body' to the 'soul', was different.

Xu Ruotong can see the "creation" inside.

"Yes, you can't see."

“So you don’t understand.”

He put down his fingers, feeling somewhat lost.

Although Xu Heng didn't understand, he looked at Xu Ruotong's expression and couldn't help but say:
"Foster father, forgive my stupidity, I can't see any clues, but..."

"If there is really any big secret about Li Taxian,"

"Help Marquis Wuwei to pacify Wutong Mansion, and then kidnap Li Taxian. With your skills, wouldn't it be easy?"

"When the time comes, his cultivation will be abolished and he will be sent to the 'prison'. No matter how big his secret is, he will definitely hand it over."

Snapped!
Before Xu Heng finished speaking, a palm wind blew and knocked Xu Heng off balance. When he turned his head, he saw that Xu Ruotong's face had turned cold:
"There is a way to seek techniques and methods."

“Not willingly”

"Someone else set a trap for you, and you stepped into it. It's your own fault."

Xu Ruotong took it from Li Taxian.
I saw the prototype of the ultimate law and technique.

He originally thought that he could use Li Taxian's help to understand chess skills and crack the "Tianyuan chess game", allowing him to take a step further in his method of using the "chess way" to spy on the world.

but now.
Seeing Ji Xia being able to live, summarize a person's life skills, make a breakthrough, and break free from the shackles
Only then did Xu Ruotong realize the horror of Ji Xia.

Simultaneously
Completely crazy too.

The real person is the fourth step.

But step four is not the end.

If one cannot open the Heavenly Gate three times in succession, cleanse his body three times, and break through the barrier between the human world and magic, he can become a 'Dharma Seeker'!
Even if it's not extraordinary!

What about the 'world of chess'?
"Xu Heng."

Holding the black and white pieces, Xu Rutong slowed down his tone.

"Godfather, I'm here!"

Xu Heng hurried forward, spoke carefully and said no more about Ji Xia.

"Mobilize all the 'chess pieces' in Tongyezhou."

"Help Mr. Tongye and the Demon Hunting Division to fight the enemy!"

what?
"Godfather, you have planted countless chess pieces over the years. You have all the locations and intelligence in your hands. But if you uncover them this time, any clues will be revealed..."

"I'm afraid that the world will know the tip of our iceberg. Is this really true for a Li Taxian?"

Xu Heng knew it deeply.

Over the years, Xu Ruotong, who was known for not being power-hungry, had quietly established a huge "intelligence network" throughout Da Yin.

It was named "Qi Daizhao" and was originally an institution set up by King Yin specifically for Xu Ruotong to provide him with chess to relieve his boredom.

But over the years, the 'chess players' have been scattered all over the country.
However, in the Five States, the Sixteen Strong Sects, the Wuwei Sect, Marquis Huwei, Grand Tutor Dong, the Three Demons' Ancestral Temple, the Red Eyebrow Army of Changbai State, and the remains of the Xuan Dynasty of Fuyao State, there are people who have penetrated every hole!
The general situation of the world can be known from a single leaf. Even Xu Heng himself does not know how many masters there are.

As a result, this time,
Is it really worth it for Xu Ruotong to go her own way for Li Taxian?
But this chess master just stood there with his hands behind his back.

He looked at the small courtyard. With the movement from the outside world, the King of Alchemy, the Sword Immortal, and the Military Saint gradually walked out of the courtyard, each with their own mysterious methods, as if they were reborn from before.

Just like the confrontation between black and white in a chess game, in response to Xu Heng's questioning, he said:
"Don't talk about you."

"If the situation is going to collapse."

"When necessary."

"I will also take action to intercept Marquis Hu Wei."

"Even if necessary."

"Killing Lu Xiantian is fine!"

For the first time, a murderous intent so strong that it was almost scorching hot was revealed in the old man.

Xu Heng, the adopted son, felt for the first time.
His 'godfather' is probably crazy.

Ministers kill ministers!

Although the King of Yin fell behind and was likely to die,
This is also a big taboo in the world!

at the same time.

Ji Xia opened her eyes in the inner room.

[The author of "The Human World" Li Cheng really obtained the "Million Life Secret Pill Classic" at the pinnacle of enlightenment! ]

[The author of "The Tao in the World" Meng Ke has achieved the pinnacle of enlightenment, "Instant Immortality"! ]

[The author of "The Human World" Lan Jingyu obtained the enlightenment-level military strategy "White Tiger Breaking the Formation"! ]

All of a sudden, all kinds of wonderful methods were applied to my body and fed back to my soul.

Her name is Jixia.
the first time.

From the ancestral orifice between his eyebrows, he glimpsed the "Gate of Heaven".

"turn out to be."

"Someday."

"An ant like me, how can I wait to see the blue sky?"

He opened his eyes.

He looks about sixteen years old.

But time and again
Ji Xia's eyes have been interpreted to be full of vicissitudes of life, as if she can use all kinds of magic at will!

"Next step,"

"It is to seek the true path of the real person."

“And before that.”

He raised his hand.

Looking at the outside world in shock.

Great Yin, Marquis of Huwei.

"Ah"

"In ancient history books, there has never been a Yuandan that could resist a real person."

"Because it is a natural chasm that cannot be crossed."

"And if I can resist, then...

"Will the name of the Great Demon Lord Li Taxian be recorded in history?" (End of this chapter)
